This was my Grandmother Breeze's restaurant on the main street of White Cloud, KS. Greg tells Paul a few stories about the restaurant when she owned it during the 1957 and 1966 visits to the town by his mother, sister and himself.
The house above was owned by Great Grandma Nuzum and then by Grandma Breeze on the main street of White Cloud, KS.
This house was owned by Grandma Nuzum and then by Uncle Robert Breeze over the years. The hill that is back of where the person taking the picture was standing in front of was where the star ship featured in the story was parked.
This is a patch of the White Cloud Cemetery, Olive Branch, featured in the book where Grandma and Grandpa Breeze are buried (the gray tombstone to the left), Uncle Hap and Aunt Doris (the black tombstone behind the two standing figures), Uncle Robert Breeze (the white military tombstone in back), and Anita Breeze (the reddish tombstone) in the foreground, are also buried. Doris (born 1925), Robert (born 1927) and Anita (born 1921) were Breeze siblings. Their sister, Aunt Jean (born 1923), is the white haired woman in the photo. She died in 2017 but is buried in a military cemetery in the San Juaquin Valley of California with her husband Lloyd Green and near by her son Gordon Douglas Green. They were all relatives of the main character, Greg.
I do not believe there are many of the Nuzum or Breeze offspring left in the town. In fact, I am almost certain that there are no Breeze family members remaining. The man in the photo above is Cousin Jim Rowe, son to Doris (Breeze) and Hap (Rowe). Uncle Robert Breeze used to tend to the cemetery, but with his death, I am not sure who maintains the cemetery.
